Last year, Allianz ranked 17 among 4,000 companies assessed in the Thomson Reuters Diversity & Inclusion Index. The index takes into account gender diversity, cultural diversity, LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) initiatives and opportunities offered to employees with disabilities. Another recognition was given to Allianz UK, which won the 2017 Excellence in the Diverse Company Award for the Private Sector.
At Allianz Worldwide Care, a brand of Allianz Worldwide Partners, LGBT employees in Ireland created a networking initiative called Diversity at Allianz Worldwide Care (DIVA), which works with internal and external networks to facilitate dialogue and learning opportunities with a focus on LGBT issues.
